Why doesn't onion contain starch?

Onions do not contain starch because they store energy in the form of fructans instead. Fructans are a type of carbohydrate composed of fructose molecules, unlike starch which is composed of glucose molecules. This is why onions do not give a starch positive test such as the iodine test typically used to detect starch.
